Hi Rich,

Thanks for the info. I still do not get it though

There are six posts on the switch

That leaves 7 wires to be attached to the switch. Where do I put those.

I realize that I probably have to keep

brown and orange together

yellow and white together

do I use the purple ungrounded wire at all?

If I were to look at the posts

what gets attached where.

Thanks again -

Jeff

If the diagram that you gave in your first post is accurate, and the motor runs (in one direction) then leave them the way they are. According to your original post, only the black and red needed to be swapped to reverse the motor.

I've replaced my designators with your numbers:

I've done the switch diagram in the way a standard schematic is done. For each switch, there are three positions:

On Off On o 1,2 o 1,2 o 1,2 \\ o o 3,4 o---o 3,4 o o 3,4 / o 5,6 o 5,6 o 5,6

Interpose this between wherever the red and black are coming from, and the point where they attach. Connect the black wire to 1 and 6, and connect 3 to the terminal block on the motor. Connect the red wire to 2 and 5, and connect 4 to the terminal block on the motor.

But this is all assuming that the rest of the wires don't need to be changed _at all_ - if that's not the case, then we need more information.

Good Luck! Rich

Thanks Rich
